Iran’s revenge terror attack plot on California with army of drones revealed in terrifying FBI memo
The FBI issued an urgent warning to cops across California of a potential Iranian drone strike on the Golden State.
Tehran was looking at deploying unmanned aircraft on the region as the country reels after
the US wiped out its Supreme Leader last month, the alert said.
The Bureau said in early February agents had intelligence that drones could be sent from an unidentified vessel off the American coastline.
California has the highest concentration of Iranian dissidents in the US — up to 500,000 — but it is not clear if that was why the state could be targeted.
The FBI alert said: “We recently acquired information that as of early February 2026, Iran allegedly aspired to conduct a surprise attack using unmanned aerial vehicles from an unidentified vessel off the coast of the United State Homeland, specifically against unspecified targets in California, in the event that the US conducted strikes against Iran.”
It added: “We have no additional information on the timing, method, target, or perpetrators of this alleged attack.”
The alert was sent to police departments across the region, but it does not make it clear where specifically could be targeted. The FBI declined to comment when approached by The Post.
